The first set of campuses is in ALP parks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Kuwait; Cairo, Egypt; and Accra-Tema, Ghana. In the long term, the company expects to add sites in other growing data centre markets, including Nairobi, Casablanca and Lagos.
ALP is a real estate developer in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa with 1.5 million square metres of warehousing and 12 million square metres of industrial land across 12 emerging markets.
In support of this, ALP has readied data centre campuses in its existing parks with power allocation, fibre connectivity, building permits, strong sustainability features and high security.
The new sites, the first of many, are being prepared at ALP warehousing complexes in fast-growing markets and mega-cities that are looking to add hyperscale data centre capacity and resolve data latency, security and compliance challenges.
Agility’s value proposition in challenging emerging markets will help them with faster speed to market with a credible, institutional developer as a partner.
